Behind the Scenes of ‘Better Off’

Back in August, I did production design, makeup, and behind the scenes photography for Joshua Gray and Ben Hosking’s short film ‘Better Off.’ It was a long, sweaty, buggy shoot in the armpit of New Hampshire, but we powered through and I think the final product is going to be great.
